What began as a sabbatical in Spain, where they immersed themselves in design, architecture, and culture, inspired the creation of TRE - an Australian luxury lifestyle brand born from the belief that beautiful places and experiences should be shared.

Tom’s entrepreneurial path began with a deep-rooted legacy in business and innovation. Starting at Oroton - the iconic Australian fashion house founded by his grandfather - he helped steer the brand through one of its most pivotal evolutions, gaining expertise in customer experience, branding, and strategic growth. From there he went on to launch a sustainable construction company, QuickSmart Homes, that set new benchmarks with eco-conscious projects.

As Director of TRE, he has led the development of some of Australia’s most sought-after rural properties, shattering sales records and establishing a new benchmark for sustainable real estate. As a board member for various businesses as well as running Tom Lane Consulting, Tom combines visionary thinking with practical execution to turn ideas into thriving, purpose-driven enterprises.

Emma, a creative visionary with a deep connection to nature, brings artistry and an eye for beauty to every project. Raised in the idyllic English countryside and influenced by summers in the Canary Islands, Emma’s design sensibility seamlessly blends European influences with the Australian landscape. With a background in Creative Advertising and Marketing, she channels her creativity into spaces that evoke peace, belonging, and harmony with nature.

As TRE’s Creative Director, Emma leads a team dedicated to designing properties that integrate effortlessly with their natural surroundings. Her designs focus on tactile surfaces, natural materials, and high-quality craftsmanship that flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Guided by the slow living philosophy, she also runs Emma L Lane, her creative practice, where she blends cultural influences to craft spaces and brand moments that resonate deeply on an emotional level.
